We also fixed a few bugs.

Works but clunky activation process

So I was recommended this app because it supposed to work well. I installed it and only the ad blocking is free the web protect and call blocking are premium features. It's cheap though so I went premium and one fingerprint later I was up and running, or so I thought. She asked me afterward if I had activated it. I said yes, already paid for it. She launch the app on my phone and said no, you still have to activate. That's really annoying to have to turn on a feature that I specifically just paid for on an app whose sole purpose is to do just that. Especially since after I paid there was no prompt that says I have to go and activate the features. More annoying but granted could be an Apple restriction is the fact that clicking activate really is just a pop up telling how to go into settings to make the changes.

Ideally after you paid you should get a prompt that says "would you like to enable so and so..." Click yes and you're done. But again that could be a restriction Apple placed on the process.

One other thing, I now have to use Safari since it doesn't work with chrome which is my default browser. I think you should at least support the top 2-3 browsers instead of just Safari.

Part of that has to do with Apple's requirements for turning these features on. We can't do it for you initially, so you do have to manually turn those features on in the Settings app. However, I appreciate the feedback, and we'll look into making it more clear that this remains to be done after completing a purchase. For protection in Chrome, unfortunately, we had a solution that would let us protect all apps on the device, but Apple would not allow that solution in the App Store.

Off to a bad start

Signed up for the annual subscription and went to activate web protection and ad blocking per their directions and button wouldn’t slide to enable either. Turned phone off and on and still wouldn’t slide. Canceled shortly thereafter as not doing what they claim. iPhone 8 Plus with latest update.UPDATE: Ok, you people are the best like your product. Everything is working now and I’ll be signing up for premium service. I don’t remember how long I’ve used Malwarebytes on my laptops/desktops, but it’s been the best ever without a doubt. That’s why I’m so glad that it’s finally available for iPhones.UPDATE 2: I had a problem when I put the latest iOS update on phone. It was saying I had the free version which I knew I didn’t. Just as confusing was the next day it was back to the paid version which I knew I had. Some glitchIn the updating process I’m guessing. But, as always, Malwarebytes is the best and working as expected.Update 3: This app has been the best antivirus app ever. On all my devices and works as I want it to for scanning on a schedule. It is a definite 5 star app worth the money.

Meh

Update 8/10: Alright so used it for a few days for call blocking and have got 3 calls that it dedicated as spam calls. So was going to switch to block but was warned i wouldnt be notified. which is not bad but having some sort of dashboard showing the number of blocked calls and some details would be great. Would really help me want to keep the app bc i know it blocked X number of spam calls. Otherwise might not think its working bc i dont get calls and is not worth keeping. The app seems maybe its not yet polished and ready for prime time. As of now dont plan on keeping after the 30 day time period.

Update 8/5: developers responded and said they had an issue and its been resolved. It did fix the issue and call blocking has been activated. Now only time will tell how good the call blocking/detection is. Will update in 30 days.

Update 8/3: Read an article about the app was amped to try it out. Only to be given an error message that it could not activate the call blocker. Sent email for help no response.

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, for privacy reasons, Apple does not give developers any access to phone call data, so we have no visibility into what has been blocked, and cannot show a dashboard with that data.
